I'm not sure why you are both trying to re-invent the wheel?  The default [[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] signature generator is the most secure method of generating a signature - and it is how all other MediaWiki installations do it.  And I'm also not sure why there is seemingly apparent denial of the very real spam problem from Mark!  Finally, I really don't get why Mark is trying to 'clean up the wiki' - signatures with timestamps is the way MediaWiki works - and that is exactly how the millions of existing MediaWiki users will be familiar with.  Mark, if you really don't like how MediaWiki works, then maybe it is time to either shut down WikiIndex, or move it back to a more prehistoric [[:Category:Wiki Engine|wiki engine]].  A lot of effort is being wasted here .... maybe time for me to check-out - just like the many other valuable past contributors to this site! :////  [[User:Hoof Hearted|Sean, aka <small>Hoof Hearted</small>]] • <sub>[[:Category:Active administrators of this wiki|Admin]]</sub> • <small>[[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk2HH]]</small> 03:42, 5 May 2013 (PDT)

: I am not trying to reinvent the wheel, as you say Sean, merely exploring how to make a cleaner wiki.  Which is what I have been doing here since 2006 and you since 2011. I do not understand your frustration here, I have not been heavy handed about anything. I am not denying a spam problem here either.  I uses the signature generator - and when I have had fancy signatures I have used <nowiki>{{MarkDilley}}</nowiki>.  You are right Sean, I don't like how MediaWiki works - one time I was having lunch with [[Brion Vibber]], a  main [[:Category:MediaWiki developer|MediaWiki developer]], and we were complaining how MediaWiki was a good wiki for the encyclopedia but very bloated for pretty much every other wiki instance. I do understand that many public wiki use MediaWiki and that WikiIndex has since its inception - but the software doesn't have to override community ideals.  Again, I really don't understand your frustrations Sean, is it not ok to talk about things?  People check out of wiki when they want, and check back in when they want - it is the nature of wiki - I would also say that [[Ray King]] owns the domain, the idea was mine, and [[John Stanton]] implemented.  I am not a [[Meatball:GodKing]] - the community has always run this wiki. Why do you say a lot of effort is wasted here? ~~ [[MarkDilley]]
